My work is rooted in presence, connection, and the quiet power of being seen.

As an artist, I move between worlds — between bold charcoal strokes and delicate miniature detail, between gesture and stillness, between the physical and the emotional. My practice is deeply intuitive and human-focused, often shaped by the intimacy of live drawing and portraiture. I’m drawn to the language of the body — its truths, its histories, its poetry.

A turning point in my journey was my time studying miniature art in Iran. Immersing myself in its traditions, discipline, and reverence for storytelling left a deep imprint on me. There’s a quiet devotion in miniature painting — the slow layering, the symbolism, the sacredness of scale — that taught me to hold space in my work differently. That experience lives in my hands, even when I’m working on something looser or more contemporary.

I went on to complete my MFA at Wimbledon College of Arts (UAL), where I deepened my understanding of material, process, and the emotional resonance of mark-making. Alongside my practice, I’ve worked as a curator with Rise Gallery, where I focused on nurturing emerging voices and community-based art experiences.

Community and care are central to everything I do. I’ve hosted life drawing workshops at Matthew’s Yard and led mobile self-love workshops — intimate, creative spaces designed to reconnect people with their bodies and stories through drawing. These workshops are an extension of my practice: deeply personal, intentionally held, and rooted in love.

My work isn’t just about image-making — it’s about witness. Whether I’m drawing someone in motion or sitting with them in stillness, I’m always looking for what breathes underneath the surface. The energy. The weight. The softness. The untold.

I believe art can be a mirror, a ritual, and a form of healing. My hope is that each piece feels honest, present, and alive — just like the people and moments that inspire them.
